This page contains links on landscapes provided by Stellarium users.

NOTE: For version 0.9.x, the landscape file layout, contents and installation method has changed slightly. See this page for landscapes for the new version.

General notes on installation of new landscapes

Specific instructions are given for each landscape.

Copy one or more .png file to a specific directory

Editing the landscape.ini file

The instructions for each landscape mention the <config root> directory. Details of what this means can be found here.

After installing a new landscape, you'll need to re-start Stellarium for changes to take effect. If all is well, you should see a new section in the configuration windows in the landscape tab.

More information about the ways to make new landscapes can be found in the user guide.

Installation

For Stellarium version 0.7.1:

unzip the downloaded file

copy the .png files to the <config root>/textures/landscapes directory

copy landscapes.ini to the <config root>/data directory (overwriting the original). If you have modified your original landscapes.ini file, just copy-paste the [Beaumonthills] section to the end of your file.

unzip the downloaded file

copy the .png files to the <config root>/textures/landscapes directory

BrendaEM - San Jose, California, USA

This panorama was made using Nasa's WorldWind. Screenshots were taken at 45 degree increments. The screenshots were layered and stitched together, and then offset until the the Northern mountains were aligned. A landscape such as this could be made of any location in the world. There is a plug-in for WorldWind called "BigScreenshot," that may make the process easier, but not automate it. A plug-in could be written to do this entire process automatically.
